Do you even run your own node?
Discussion
Do you bother to use the lightning network?
Yes I do. Have run my own lightning node since the first public release of a lightning node.
But none of that is relevant to the issue at hand. Bitcoin fees are for Bitcoin transactions. My nodes, resources and hard drives are for Bitcoin transactions.
Not superfluous, greed-driven scamms. Not to support fraud, larceny and computer crimes. Lastly, it's damaging to Bitcoin, and the Bitcoin ideals.
Yes, I run my own node. Have since the first release of the first public node\client.
